The Best Show on Earth

with one comment

July 25, 2009 | I may not have had to travel very far for this, but the group we saw traveled!  I saw the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey’s for the first time (that I can remember) roughly 5 years ago in Dallas, so it’s been long enough.    We had pretty good seats (thanks to Marc!) but I learned that it is still very difficult to take pictures at a circus!  The bright, flashing lights, people running/riding/jumping all over the place…it’s tough.

I took this one before the show actually started. We were walking around enjoying the pre-show entertainment, so I didn’t have a chance to put on my wide-angle lens. So, this is actually a self-stitched photo! How’d I do? It’s not perfect, so if you look for it, you can see where it doesn’t line up exactly.

As you can see, the performers asked for some child volunteers, lined them up the middle, and juggled between them! Fun, haha.  I’d like to mention that while I enjoyed the show, holy crap, the food was expensive.   Good thing they only come once a year!

Here are the rest of the circus pictures on flickr.
